Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman discussed the NFL labor situation with an anonymous interviewer in a video posted on TMZ.com on Wednesday, though when and where the video was shot was not revealed. Newman was asked how he feels about suspensions instead of fines for violations of league policy.

"I think [NFL Commissioner Roger] Goodell needs to make money because he said he's going to take a dollar instead of his 10 million. So instead of 10 million he's taking a dollar so he needs to fine people and he's going to get the money that he fines people with. That's what I get out of it."

Newman was then asked if the money for the fine was for the commissioner's pocketbook.

"He's pocketing all of that. Roger Goodell is pocketing that and he's screwing the players. Roger Goodell is screwing the players and is pocketing all of that."

When asked about the importance of the league, he explained how it can affect others.

"There has to be an NFL," Newman said. "There's a lot of people that are going to be without jobs without the NFL."

We're not sure if Newman was joking or not in his responses. To see the video on TMZ.com, click here.
